| | | | | | | | | RE: | Resolution No. R2020-81 Approving FDOT Highway Beautification Grant Application (Judeen Johnson, Director of Public Works) |
|
| | | | | | | | Description
| | BACKGROUND ANALYSIS:
| In 1987 the Florida Legislature created the Florida Highway Beautification Council, requiring a statewide beautification program under Sections 339.24 and 339.2405 of the Florida Statutes for State transportation facilities, with the goal of beautification of roadways on the State Highway System, as appropriated by the State Legislature. With assistance from the Florida Highway Beautification Council, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)in their current fiscal cycle will award Highway Beautification Grants totaling $1 Million to many municipalities, with individual grants not to exceed $100,000.00
In keeping with the City of North Miami Beach’s (“City”) Strategic Plan’s Mission of a high performing city organization, the city would like to apply for this FDOT grant to beautify the corridor through landscape improvements, on SR860/Miami Gardens Drive between NE 6th Avenue and NE 10th Avenue. In prior years the city has successfully applied, received and executed such grants for beautifying the SR826/NE 163 Street corridor from 2nd Avenue to NE 35 Avenue.
Based on the grant application requirements, the City intends to comply with the requirement that the proposed project will be supported with equal (50 percent) matching funds or with in kind contributions from other sources. | RECOMMENDATION:
| The City Manager and Staff support the proclamation. | FISCAL/ BUDGETARY IMPACT:
| $88,000 |
